Question 1

How do construction companies find new leads?

Accepted Answer

Construction companies find leads through bid boards (Dodge, ConstructConnect), permit data monitoring, networking at trade associations, referrals from past clients, and AI-powered lead intelligence platforms like LSGRO. The most effective approach combines early-stage permit data with direct outreach to project owners before the bid phase.

Question 2

What is the best way to find commercial construction projects?

Accepted Answer

The best way to find commercial construction projects is to monitor building permit filings and planning commission records in your target markets. These records identify projects 6–18 months before bid solicitation, giving you time to build relationships with decision-makers. AI platforms like LSGRO automate this process across all 50 US states.

Question 3

How do subcontractors find work?

Accepted Answer

Subcontractors find work through general contractor relationships, bid boards, permit data monitoring, subcontractor networks, and direct outreach to project owners. The most successful subcontractors identify projects early through permit data and establish relationships with GCs before the project goes to bid.
